It very much is a skill. You wont get good results by asking it to "go do X" and walking away from the desk. You have to know how to use it as a tool to: 1) research the task 2) develop a plan the agent can follow to complete the task 3) check the plan for completeness/issues

After a (potentially long) session of investigation and planning _then_ you let it code. Even just being aware of this process is part of the skill involved (then you have to actually get used to doing it effectively).

You soon will. If not next year, then maybe the year after, or the year after that.

Whatever value you are providing will evaporate in a few years.

Are you planning on stopping eating in 3 years?

		What's your point? I can't do anything about that. All I can do is deal with the situation as it is right now and wait to see what happens.

		Ask a human to "build twitter" and walk away and tell me how it goes. Vague requests will never work, no matter how intelligent the person being asked is, because they don't have enough information to give you what you want. "No no no, when I said build twitter I meant without the character limit!"
